-## <a name="Installing_packages_without_havi"> Installing packages without having a network connection. </a>
+# How to Installing Packages without a Network Connection from your Hurd Installation
-This procedure is based on <file:///usr/share/doc/apt-doc/offline.text.gz> (package apt-doc).
+This procedure is based on that found in
+file:///usr/share/doc/apt-doc/offline.text.gz (package apt-doc).
-Having _apt_ installed is needed to use it.
+This requires having apt installed on the Host operating system.
-Put <http://hurd.gnufans.org/pub/Distrib/DebianAptOffline/apt.conf.offline> into Debian GNU/Hurd's /etc/apt/.
+Put a copy of [apt.conf.offline](http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/Distrib/DebianAptOffline/apt.conf.offline)
+into your Debian GNU/Hurd installations /etc/apt/ directory.
-#### <a name="You_can_mount_your_Debian_GNU_Hu"> </a> You _can_ mount your Debian GNU/Hurd partition under another OS.
+## If you _can_ mount your Debian GNU/Hurd partition from another OS, which can connect to the Internet
-Networked system, user root
+As root on the internet connected OS:
- # mkdir SOMEWHERE
- # mount /dev/DEBIAN_GNU_HURD_PARTITON SOMEWHERE
- # cd SOMEWHERE
+ # mount /dev/DEBIAN_GNU_HURD_PARTITON /mnt
+ # cd /mnt
# apt-get -c etc/apt/apt.conf.offline {update, upgrade, install foo, etc.}
-Debian GNU/Hurd, user root
+Then , reboot into your Debian GNU/Hurd installation and as root, run:
# apt-get {update, upgrade, install foo, etc.}
-#### <a name="You_can_t_mount_your_Debian_GNU_"> </a> You _can't_ mount your Debian GNU/Hurd partition under another OS.
+## If you _cannot_ mount your Debian GNU/Hurd partition under another OS.
-Debian GNU/Hurd, user root
+From your Debian GNU/Hurd installation run, as the root user:
- # tar -cf SOMEWHERE/tar /etc/apt/{apt.conf.offline,sources.list} /var/lib/dpkg/status
+ # tar cf myhurdsconf.tar /etc/apt/{apt.conf.offline,sources.list} /var/lib/dpkg/status
-Copy _SOMEWHERE/tar_ to the remote system.
+Copy _myhurdsconf.tar_ to the remote system.
-_/var/lib/dpkg/status_ is needed for the remote system's _apt_ to know which packages (and their versions) are already installed on your Debian GNU/Hurd system.
+This copies your apt configuration and the status of your system
+(what packages are installed, which versions, etc.)
-Networked system, any user
+From the remote sytem, as any user, run:
- $ mkdir debian_gnu_hurd
- $ cd debian_gnu_hurd
- $ tar -xf SOMEWHERE/tar
+ $ mkdir myhurd
+ $ cd myhurd
+ $ tar -xf myhurdsconf.tar
$ mkdir -p var/lib/apt/lists/partial var/cache/apt/archives/partial tmp
$ apt-get -c etc/apt/apt.conf.offline {update, upgrade, install foo, etc.}
- $ tar -cf SOMEWHERE/tar var/
+ $ tar cf myhurdsconf.tar etc/apt/{apt.conf.offline,sources.list} var/
-Copy _SOMEWHERE/tar_ back to your Debian GNU/Hurd system.
+Copy _myhurdsconf.tar_ back to your Debian GNU/Hurd system.
-If you modified _etc/apt/sources.list_, don't forget to also copy it back.
+Finally, from your Debian GNU/Hurd installation as the root user:
-Debian GNU/Hurd, user root
-
- # tar -xf SOMEWHERE/tar
+ # mkdir tmp
+ # cd tmp
+ # tar -xf myhurdsconf.tar
# mv var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/
# mv var/lib/apt/lists/*_* /var/lib/apt/lists/
# apt-get {update, upgrade, install foo, etc.}
